Overview

• Witness videos from late Friday show one officer appearing to throw a single punch that drops a man and a separate scene of an officer on top of 19-year-old Johnny Acuna-Jacobo striking him multiple times.
• An arrest-warrant affidavit states an officer was struck from behind while breaking up a fight, then performed a takedown and delivered closed-fist strikes to gain compliance.
• Court records identify the arrested man as Acuna-Jacobo, who is charged with assault on a peace officer, a second-degree felony, with bail set at $10,000.
• Travis County jail officials said Monday that Acuna-Jacobo remained in custody because he is awaiting an ankle monitor despite his bond being paid.
• Documents name Officers Leger and Garcia in the response; APD has not said which officer is on restricted duty, and the suspect’s mother reports visible injuries and questions his medical care while Austin’s mayor condemned the conduct seen on video.
